Hussain Sajwani is a real estate investor in Dubai, UAE. Ali Sajwani, also a businessman in Dubai is Hussain Sajwani’s father.

As a businessman, Ali Sajwani was equipped with skills such as being knowledgeable about handling his clients at the family shop. Since Hussain Sajwani would spend a considerable amount of time at the family shop, he got to learn more about entrepreneurship from his father.

Although Hussain Sajwani had the honor of inheriting the family business, he refused the offer. Instead, he went abroad for further studies at the University of Washington.

Afterward, Hussain Sajwani dived into the Dubai real estate sector in 2002 by launching DAMAC Properties. He made this move after foreigners were given the authority to own land within Dubai. Many years down the line, DAMAC Properties has prospered under the leadership of its chairman-Hussain Sajwani. Subscribe to Sajwani’s YouTube channel.
